Mr.. J. S. Halves, the boss Hereford
cattle breeder Of Anderson county, Kan
sas, was in the city last night. He is
looking after his Texas trade. Being
asked about cattle feeding in Kansas this
year he said that there was no noticeable
diminution, ii a0y, in the number being
fed. Feed is 6 little scsrcer and higher
priced than it formerl? has been, but that
fact has not deferred any one from feed
ing as ususl. Mr Hswes says the num-
Der Of HeTefords being sold in Texas has
increased ecch yesr, until now it is
considered good market by the breede 8
of thst'variety of cattle. He anticipates
increased trade this ve&r.

The fac stockbreed4rs of the north are
beginning to make stir for the Texas |
trade Of this season, and from obseIvs-
tio1s made by some oeaiers who have
been spoken 70 IatslY sc Fort Worth, il Is |
learned thst larger trade than ever is |
expected ii this state this year. Texas
for several years has been increasing tBe !
number OF importatioDs Of fac stock, |
ana there 10 no reason to be seen this |
year why there should be |
any bsCkwardness N the bust |
ness by Texas csttlemen; on
the other hand there is even greater in |
teresG taken in the matter OF grading |
csttle than ever before and the stCckmen |
ere feeling the necessity for better cless |
of cattle to meet the future competition |
on the markets. r cent experiences have |
taught that good animal always brings |
its price while an ordinary class of stock |
is subject to the vicissitudes OF market |
fluctuations.

The Kansas City Live Stock Indicator |
ssys there has not been a time, within the |
past three years, when those engaged II |
the live stock trade felt more generally |
hopeful for the higher prices of cattle |
than at the present time. Dependency is |
giving way and bright anticiDatIons hsve |
some buudation to rest upon, unless all |
things are deceptive. What those signs |
are hardiV need De repested, for they are
too well known TO sll engaged in the
trade, bua il mag as well be remarked |
here thSt they are not Cattle Trusts"
not "Beef PooIs,n but 9 reduced supply
"Csttle Trusts" and "Beef Pools" were
artifcisl means intended 10 be OF advant-
age to the producers, or rather to 8 small
cOterie OF producers, bG5 the neutral law,
and the one which can be relied upon TO
do It's work surely and T # 9ctiyeJy, is that
Of supply and demana-the means by
which alone the Indicator has alwsys
srgued the cattle market could be bene-
flied.
There are cups" ard "downs" in all
